I love to swim sprints in a masters meet but I also have enjoyed doing triathlons. It is very difficult to train for both. I'd love to hear from folks that compete in both masters meets and triathlons to learn how they balance training and competing in both.
Wow! Sounds like a smart way to go about it! Will you share some of the fly and medley sets? Also, how much biking and running do you do each week and what type of workouts?
Typical fly sets:
3 x (4 x 50 on 1:00, then easy 100 on 2:00)
24 x 25 on :30
100-75-50-25 on same base interval, repeat... maybe :P
200-150-100-50 's lying, that's not typical at all!!!
Typical medley sets:
10 x 100 on 1:30
5 x 200 on 3:00
400-300-200-100 on same base interval
Typical bike week: 100-130 miles. During peak training I will double that, but not for more than a couple weeks at a time. Commute rides M-F with a big ride on Saturday.
Typical run week: varies. My tri season is over so I'm at about 8-12 miles a week for the foreseeable future. Ramping up for next tri season, I will jump up to 25-35 miles/week, with Tues-Sat runs around 5 miles each and then a long Sunday run. I've learned the hard way that anything more than about 35 miles breaks me down too much. As they say, your mileage may vary...
